Resolve not seeing DSLR Avid timecode
Is anyone having good luck conforming Avid MXF media from DSLR cameras in Resolve? I’ve been having a bear of a time conforming recently and as I got to inspecting the files it appears that Resolve isn’t seeing timecode though Avid does see timecode.
Resolve:
This is one clip and as you can see in the Media Pool it shows no TC
Avid:
The clip in Avid. It shows timecode that it creates from the timestamp of the DSLR cameras.

Maybe Avid is not adding a TC track to the QT file. DSLRs don’t write any TC.

That wouldn’t be the issue since I’m working with Avid MXF media that’s coming into Resolve, not QTs. True the DSLR media was originally QTs and those don’t have timecode but Avid sees the timestamp when loading DSLR media via AMA and once that was transcoded into Avid DNxHD 175 that new media has timecode as you can see from the Avid image. It’s there in the bin and the Media Tool.
Obviously something is wrong as Resolve doesn’t see the timecode. I checked a few other projects shot on RED and Resolve does see that timecode.

Thanks for the clarification. I had similar problems with a mixed TL from Premiere Pro with native DSLR footage in it, while things work well with transcoded footage from FCP.
